Deep Space Rescue

Over 300 years in the future, humanity is spread across a hundred star systems. The Conclave Expeditionary Force keeps the peace. You work for the CEF's Deep Space Rescue division, answering cries for help, investigating abandoned hulks, saving survivors from catastrophes. Now you're responding to a distress signal from the scout ship Zheng He. It seems like a simple enough job, but before it's over you'll encounter aliens, space pirates, and plasma cannons. In fact, there's a good chance you won't make it back alive.

Deep Space Rescue is an action-packed science fiction adventure for use with QAGS, the Quick Ass Game System. It can be played as a one-shot mission, as an add-on to an existing game, or as the beginning of a full-fledged campaign.

This is a good little SF adventure for QAGS that is a tad more serious than most QAGS products, but is still fairly lighthearted and very much space opera. It does a decent job setting up a background for the adventure, and it's a shame that QAGS never [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
